Get Clarity and Peace of Mind!

Sitting down and brainstorming about amazing features for your new home is a lot of fun. But, once
the process of interviewing contractors, architects and designers begins, things can get very
complicated, very quickly! Our free, 90 minute assessment will help you take your first steps
forward and alleviate stress. There’s no risk and no commitment required.

Put an end to Confusion & Overwhelm

Getting a bunch of quotes from competing experts can be really overwhelming. Each of them will have
different ideas, outline different risks, and charge different fees to achieve the same goals. If
you’re not an industry expert, those quotes, and that advice, can be extremely difficult to
evaluate. Read More

When building your own home, you want someone with years of experience, a track record of success,
and excellent communication skills. Walden checks all three boxes. Get a much better understanding
of what you need to do next to get your project started.

For example: are there cost-efficiencies to be found by building things in a
particular order? Is it better to “move or improve”? It can be extremely difficult to get unbiased
opinions from contractors who all specialize in slightly different areas and have different
preferences! And, when there is hundreds of thousands of investment dollars on the line, it’s
justified to have someone in your corner!

The Assessment Process

As you know, Walden Homes prides itself on providing extremely thorough analysis during the
assessment process, ensuring no major setbacks when it comes to timelines, it also means your budget
won't fluctuate drastically throughout the duration of the project. Often, competitors will make a
superficial assessments and budgets for a project by biding low to win the job. In contrast, our
feasibility studies are more involved and require far more research, which in turn allows us to
provide extremely accurate projections.
